That red glows!

What type of car is that, I see the Toyota badge but that's not something we get here.

Nice work bringing that single stage paint back alive...keep up the good work

[BobbyG]

Wahoo! Someone else that likes using a rotary polisher! :bowdown:

What nice work and that red glows again! Single stage paints require a slightly different approach and they're softer too. Choosing the right buffing pad and polish can really cut through all the oxidation leaving a fresh surface to protect and admirer.... :props:

Nice work and documentation Zaid! :dblthumb2:

[cardaddy]

:dblthumb2:Zaid that's a FANTASTIC recovery there buddy! :dblthumb2:

The ol' Toyota single stage red. Love seeing that brought back to life, just love it! :D

Now grab a bottle of the new Mothers exterior trim cleaner on that faded black vinyl/plastic trim and give it a good scrub, then some UTTGP and she'll be brand new again. :props:

[Sicoupe]

Awesome fix! Great work buddy:)

[firecorgi]

Great work and I like the way you did the photos.

thanks for your encouraging words friends, most cherished :dblthumb2:

You are right Bobby, I got going with the least aggressive but effective combo - the mild cutting n high finishing ability of the menz 203s wth the wool pad using the zenith technique.

I then refined with good old M80 with LC black pad

finished with collinite 476s for a little protection :dblthumb2:

thanks for your kind words, most appreciated :dblthumb2:

actually the detail was meant as a presale investment.... now :nomore: it's a long term investment. my buddy started loving it really, :) there's a little paintwork to do on the plastics
